| Discussion | Burroughs Company Commentary
"Clear manufacturing space, unimpeded by stairs or toilets, is the most notable feature of this building. The typical floor unit consists of three bays running the full length of the structure, with services located in the towers. On the first floor a cafeteria, gymnasium and other recreational facilities are provided." — from George Nelson. Industrial Architecture of Albert Kahn, Inc. p47. Note: Albert Kahn also designed a building (more mundane) for Burroughs in 1937 in Plymouth, Michigan. map | |
